Students in Professor Pat Astry's "Introduction to Clinical Sciences" course have developed three projects to celebrate National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week and are disseminating information about the medical laboratory, diagnostic testing and the career of medical technology.
The week is observed nationally from April 18-24, and the students are conducting most of their group work over the next two weeks at SUNY Fredonia. The official kick-off was with Dr. Jeffrey DuBois’ presentation on Friday, April 16 in Jewett Hall.
